Mastering Support in Marvel Rivals: A Tier List of Strategist Characters

Marvel Rivals boasts a diverse roster of iconic characters, but while damage dealers often steal the spotlight, strategic support characters are crucial for team survival. This guide ranks the seven currently available support units, focusing on their healing and buffing capabilities. While Jeff the Land Shark is a popular choice, he's not the only game-changer.

Mantis excels at healing and buffing allies. Her orb-consuming abilities provide damage boosts and self-healing, with orbs regenerating automatically or instantly recoverable via headshots. While fragile, her effectiveness scales with headshot accuracy, making her accessible to both beginners and skilled players.

Luna Snow, another top-tier strategist, offers a blend of healing and damage. Her Ice Art ability enhances both, and her AoE Ultimate, Fate of Both Worlds, provides adaptable healing or damage depending on the situation. Her straightforward gameplay makes her ideal for newcomers. Her damage output, however, remains secondary to her support role.

A Tier

Adam Warlock and Cloack & Dagger

Adam Warlock stands out with his multi-teammate revive capability. His Quantum Zone Ultimate brings back fallen allies with temporary invincibility, potentially reviving the same character multiple times. He also heals with Avatar Life Stream and shares damage with Soul Bond, offering a heal-over-time effect.

Cloak & Dagger provides versatile support. Cloak's attacks offer both healing and damage, with self-sustaining healing capabilities. Dagger focuses on damage and applying Vulnerability debuffs, while Dark Teleportation boosts ally movement speed and provides invisibility.

B Tier

Rocket Raccoon, Jeff, and Loki in Marvel Rivals.

Jeff the Land Shark, despite popularity, lacks the robust healing of higher-tier characters, struggling in extended fights. His simpler kit pales in comparison to Mantis' orb mechanics or Warlock's revives, though he remains a viable option for beginners.

Loki's effectiveness hinges on player skill and strategy. He heals and summons decoys, but precise decoy placement is essential to avoid environmental obstructions. His Ultimate allows shapeshifting into other heroes, granting access to their abilities for 15 seconds.

Rocket Raccoon prioritizes utility and damage over pure healing. He offers revives via his Respawn Machine and significant damage potential, blurring the line between support and DPS. His performance, like Loki's, depends heavily on player skill, and his small size makes him a vulnerable target.

Ultimately, the best support character depends on individual playstyle and enjoyment. This tier list offers guidance, but fun should always be the primary factor in your choice.

Marvel Rivals is available on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
